One case of giant cells arteritis involving tubaric arteries in a postmenopausal woman is described. The patient was 59 years old and presented with asthenia, anemia, fever, weight loss, an abdominal palpable mass and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a large ovarian cyst of 14 cm in diameter. Extensive
giant cell arteritis
, Horton's type, of the small-sizes arteries was found unexpectedly in the
fallopian tube
of the patient who had had a prior ovariectomy.
Giant cell arteritis
of the female genital tract is a rare finding in elderly women and may occur as an isolated finding or as part of generalised arteritis.
